In the vernier callipers, there are 10 divisions on the vernier scale and 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 10 parts. While measuring the length, the zero of the vernier lies just ahead of the 1.8 cm mark and the 4th division of vernier coincides with a main scale division.
(a) Find the length.
(b) If zero error of vernier callipers is -0.02 cm,
What is the correct length ?

उत्तर
(a) L.C. of vernier callipers = 0.01 cm
Main scale reading = 1.8 cm
Since 4th division of the main scale coincides with the main scale, i.e. p = 4.
Therefore, the vernier scale reading = 4 × 0.01 cm = 0.04 cm
Total reading = Main scale reading + vernier scale reading
= (1.8 + 0.04) cm
= 1.84 cm
(b) Observed reading = 1.84 cm
Zero error = -0.02 cm
Correct reading = Observed reading - Zero error (with sign)
= [1.84 - (-0.02)] cm
= 1.86 cm
